Thanks @Wanaco21. I am struggling with boxes as well and had to do a lot of it before getting anywhere close to looking the way it should, especially rotated boxes.

Hey Harschac!

Congratulations at completing lesson 1! Nice job!

Your lines overall are looking pretty good. Maybe you could take a little more time on ghosting so they feel more confident, because a few of them feels just a little bit wobbly.

You can also take your time at the start so you fray them in both ends. You just have to place your pen carefully at the beggining of each line so that doesn't happen.

ABout your elipses, a great deal of them are looking good, but I feel a little less confidence in them than with your lines. Some of them are a little bumby. You can also ghost a little more and put them down confidently, even if the firts results seem a little off, they get better with practice.

Your boxes are great too. Just apply the same line feedback!

Cheers!

Thank you for your feedback. It's very helpful!

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Steven Zapata's Secrets of Shading

Some of you will have noticed that Drawabox doesn't teach shading at all. Rather, we focus on the understanding of the spatial relationships between the form we're drawing, which feeds into how one might go about applying shading. When it comes time to learn about shading though, you're going to want to learn it from Steven Zapata, hands down.

Take a look at his portfolio, and you'll immediately see why.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
